The UK government has privately admitted that there will be border checks on goods moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland after Prime Minister Boris Johnson previously said that no such checks would ever take place.
"There's no question of there being checks on goods going NI/GB or GB/NI," Johnson told ITV back in December.
Johnson was also filmed in November last year telling Northern Irish business leaders that there would "absolutely not" be any checks at the border with Great Britain, adding that if any business were told to fill in customs declarations, he would "direct them to throw that form in the bin."
